- Executive summary:
The study was conducted under GLP according to standard DIN 51794:2003 (listed in EU A.15 guideline).
Under the test conditions, the lowest temperature that will result in the ignition of the test item after being injected into the apparatus was determined as 290 °C between 984.54 and 1005.87 hPa. This value was determined using approximately 4 drops of test substance. The test substance showed auto ignition after 68 seconds

*As the first test series was considered to be biased by decomposition products of the incomplete combusted test item from the pre-test it was not used for evaluation.
Atmospheric pressure is measured between 984.54 and 1005.87 hPa.
The lowest value of the auto ignition temperature is 292 °C. This value was determined using 4 drops test item. The test item showed auto ignition after 68 seconds.
Due to safety reasons and according to the guidelines the lowest measured temperature at which an ignition was observed was rounded to the next lower number divisible by 5, giving a value of 290 °C (984.54 -1005.87 hPa)
Validity
In the DIN, the following limits are applied to the range of lowest values which may be used for evaluation:
Table 4.12/2: Acceptable ranges
Auto ignition temperature |
Range |
< 300 °C |
difference between 3 values of the main study max. 10 K |
> 300 °C |
difference between 3 values of the main study max. 20 K |
The largest difference between measured ignition temperatures was 4 K. Therefore, the three lowest values of the main study lay within a range of 10 K (as required for auto ignition temperatures below 300 °C) and all measured values of the evaluated test series show good correlation.
No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome.
Description of key information
Considering the physical state of the substance (liquid at ambient temperature), the auto-ignition temperature test was taken into account to evaluate the auto-flammability properties of the substance:
The auto-ignition temperature of the test item is stated as 290 °C (at 984.54 - 1005.87 hPa.)
No particular hazard is anticipated in normal conditions of storage
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Autoflammability / Self-ignition temperature at 101 325 Pa:
- 290 °C
Additional information
A GLP fully reliable experimental study, conducted according to a recognized EU/DIN method, is available. Therefore, it is considered as a key study. The result is retained as key data.
This parameter is not relevant for classification, however the information is useful regarding process safety and potential additional fire hazard.
